It was fascinating Liz. The present leader and the former leaders of Israel have had to make such tough decisions for their country and yet the right leaders were in place to make the tough decisions. I always pray for Netanyahu that God gives him peace as he is under tremendous stress. I hope he continues to measure up to the history of the office he occupies. (I do not like that word occupy anymore it has been used too much).

While it didn't mention the faith of these men, it made me wonder if they didn't believe they had God on their side. David ben Gurion acted in the face of all reason, but came through with flying colours. It was just amazing. The others examples cited in the article also, just seemed to be led by God.
